A Year of Last Things

Autor Michael Ondaatje
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mar 2024
From the acclaimed Booker Prize-winning novelist, a gorgeous and most of all surprising poetry collection about memory, love, and the act of looking back

'My life always stops for a new book by Michael Ondaatje'
JHUMPA LAHIRI, author of The Namesake

With A Year of Last Things, the acclaimed Booker-Prize-winning novelist Michael Ondaatje returns to poetry ¿ where he began his career, over fifty years ago ¿ and what a return it is.

Born in Sri Lanka during the Second World War, Michael Ondaatje was sent alone to boarding school in London, and then ended up in Canada. Though he has lived there ever since, travel was set in his blood, and these poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller and watcher of the world. He has never conformed to Western traditions ¿ always describing himself as `a mongrel¿, someone who was born out of a truly diverse society.

Looking back on a life of displacement and discovery, love and loss, this is a brave and extraordinary book. At first sight it is a glittering collection of fragments, moments and memories ¿ but small, beautiful pieces of life are precisely what matter most to Ondaatje. They make an emotional history. As he writes in the opening poem: `Reading the lines he loves /he slips them into a pocket, /wishes to die with his clothes /full of torn-free stanzas /and the telephone numbers /of his children in far cities.¿ Poetry ¿ where language is made to work hardest, and burns with a gem-like flame ¿ is what Ondaatje has returned to, and this is both an intimate personal record and a great artist¿s guide to beauty.
